It slips in when you’re not looking,
like poison in your drink.
It eats away at your insides,
feeding on comparison
like maggots feeding on rotting flesh.
Once it has its hooks in you,
you won’t pull them out easily.
Those proverbial seeds send roots into your soul
and shoots through your heart and mind.
Confidence in pieces on the floor.
Tread carefully among the shards.
The path you thought was safe
may not be.
